It really is. If I need to unwind, I usually go there.

The cobra is VERY happy. It has doubled in the couple months its been there.
I have more pictures of the N. vetchii x platychila. It has colored up nicely, and has some interesting patterns inside the pitcher.

Time for more pictures!
Here are some dew shots:
A fly flirting with disaster:
The bog:
Dentate caught a snail. Even though the snail is too big, the flytrap is still trying to digest it. Good luck!
S. leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek White' Starting to hint at nice stuff to come:
I have HCW paired up with 'Night Sky':
To those that doubt: Drosera indica, growing outside.
A pretty new orchid:
The space shuttle came by on an aerial tour of the Bay Area. Here are some hazy, smoggy shots:
Other interesting things to see up on the landfill we were perched on:

Paradise in your own backyard! I just love your pics of the water drops on the dews. Great pics of the space shuttle.I have D. indica coming up all over the bog outside and flowering...was told they need to be kept drier than other dews, but that does not seem to be the case as I see no difference between the ones I have in pots kept drier and the ones in the damp bog.
Awesome pics, thanks! Do you own a S. Minor "Okee Giant"?

I have a "regular" okie and one from selfed seeds with location data. That one is SUPER colorful, really coppery. It's just starting to come out of its funk it had all year.

Yes. Good guess.

And now for something a little different!
I spent the weekend in San Francisco with hubby at thee California Grand Lodge Communication and Installation. Basically, it's the governing body of the California Free and Accepted Masons getting together to vote on things, and install the 2013 officers. It's interesting. I spent a LOT of time sketching and exploring yesterday, and the ladies all got together and saw "Beach Blanket Babylon". It's hilarious! I also managed to do a smidgen of shopping Saturday, and since the event was over after noon, Dory and I did more shopping today. I had just a little too much fun. I got a bunch of designer yarn, a knit/crochet/whatever tote, a nice, comfy crocheted afghan, a couple knitting patterns, and a pinwheel as tall as I am. I'm a sucker for these pinwheels.
After the yarn shop visit, Dory and I were near Chinatown, where a festival was going on, full swing. We explored and shopped, and had lunch. Roast duck, yummy! Since the garage was at the top of Nob Hill, and we were near the bottom, we forked out the $6 each (yuck!) and took a cable car to the top. Those little rail cars are such a hoot to ride. I will be honest, the money goes into upkeep of the little cars, and is really, really worth it. We ought to go back and visit the museum and turnaround.
The next time we go, we're leaving the car at home, and will just take the train. About an hour and a half, two hours will get us to the City, and then the yarn shop is not far from there. We can also go and play along the Embarcadero, which is impossible when saddled with a vehicle. Parking is miserable!
Have a mess of random pictures:
The yarn shop:
Ever patient Dory, basking and dozing in the sun:
More randomness. City Hall, a couple cable cars, a Chinese dragon and a couple lion heads, the festival, a raven saying "Hi!", a giant vertical mosaic inside the Masonic hall, plus more.
Whew!

The new kitten is getting bigger, and more active. Here she is "checking" the servo wires to one of my RC gliders.
Chow time for the Ts. One came out and hung around a while, parading her catch.
Update pictures on some TLC lowlanders sent to me a while ago. Everyone is doing great. Top to bottom: N. albomarginata purple (black?), N. viking and N. sp. trang, N. bicalcarata.
N. viking x truncata. This thing is going to be a monster.
Finally a Sarracenia clump that I can be super proud of.
Hurricane Creek white looking good:
N. miranda showing off.
Psychopsis mendenhall with two open flowers on one stalk. Uncommon.
Orchids!
A big S. psittacina giant:
Last but not least, S. leucophylla x minor. It will color up really dark in a few weeks. I'm thinking of naming this one "Birthday Surprise", because it sure was one!

Beautiful pics, as usual... Love the Birthday Surprise, it's got such nice veining on the top of the lid.
Looks like a HCW to me.. Just doesn't have it's fall pitchers out yet. My HCW, and many other clones in different collections, look just like that most of the season and are accurately labelled as one clone or another of HCW. I've seen pictures of certified HCW plants with much deeper green venation than this specimen.. There are also many factors that play a role in the white-ness, or amount of anthocyanin produced in HCWs. They can have been recently divided, or from different environments. Divisions of many pure-white plants can appear very green, due to stress and other influences. Granted, the definition states that a HCW has to show a pure white pigmentation, but it's hard to define that when two divisions of identical genetics can exhibit significantly different pigmentation, with one qualifying as a "true" HCW and one not. I'd bet pretty good money that this specimen is an HCW.

I got this guy from a reputable source. The plant is young, and is just starting to make it's pretty spectacular pitchers. I'll wait a few more weeks, and then take more pictures. For now, look closely at the last HCW picture, it is a different pitcher, and it's starting to show the "vanishing veins" and all white lip I've seen on other HCWs.
Wireman, that's a... it's a.... I forget. Oh. C. fimbriatus. This is the female.
